Changes include:

  • Replace the existing doors and windows with new aluminum window and door systems; including, the removal of existing brick down to the finished floor to create full height openings. Similar materials and design were previously approved for the former Scale Building.
  • The application also proposes to remove the existing asphalt shingles on the roof, add insulation, and install a black standing seam metal roof similar to the roof installed on the former Scale Building. See Attachment #3 for more details.
  • Further, the existing asphalt shingles covering the exterior gable at the north and south ends of the building are proposed to be replaced with a rigid insulation and a vinyl shake product. The Applicants are proposing vinyl to limit the dead load on the structural steel truss system that carries the gable ends. Staff have indicated that this material should be a matte finish.
